In German kitchens too, the importance of using the right kitchen utensils to cook the finest dishes is often overlooked. For delicious meals that no guest can resist, fresh and high-quality ingredients come first, closely followed by professional accessories that not only make cooking easier, but also deliver perfect results. We would like to illustrate this with a few examples.
Cooking and roasting: not all pots are the same
When it comes to pots and pans, you should pay attention to conductivity. Favor heavy construction for even heating. If hot spots form in the pot or pan, there is a risk of burning. The service life of coatings also varies greatly between the different price ranges. So stay away from cheap pots! Investing in high-quality cookware is worth going to a specialist dealer you trust and is always worth it in the long term.
Cut food - but right!
Choosing quality already pays off when it comes to kitchen knives. Most amateur cooks are aware of how frustrating and time-consuming chopping with blunt knives can be. The perfect knife set offers you the right size and shape of blade and handle for different areas of use. Whether tomato, meat, herbs or onions: cutting should be effortless. Especially if you chop up a lot of herbs, vegetables and other foods frequently, the ideal knife fits well in the hand and supports an ergonomic way of working.
Once you have decided on a high-quality set, you will never want to go back to discounter sets!
Ceramic, porcelain, glass, stainless steel graters
A quality grater is another essential tool that no kitchen is complete without. There are many who think that with all the pre-shredded foods on the market today, this utensil is outdated, but nothing could be further from the truth.
On the one hand, a lot of flavor is lost with pre-ground and grated packaged spices and other products, and on the other hand, the versatility of a good grater is often overlooked. Freshly grated parmesan, for example, rounds off the taste of many dishes, especially Italian ones.
Ceramic graters, such as grater plates or grater bowls, are also ideal for grating garlic, ginger and nutmeg or for chocolate, cinnamon, onions, apples and citrus fruits. The advantage of ceramic graters and most grating plates made of porcelain or glass is that grated food and spices are collected at the same time and no separate collection container is required as is the case with stainless steel graters. Grating plates can also be safely used by children. Otherwise, personal preferences are decisive when choosing between the different materials.
Once you have decided on the type, you should also attach importance to sufficient quality in order to achieve optimal results for many years. Nothing is more annoying than getting only a tiny pile of grist even after a sweaty grating.
Conclusion
Of course, there is still a whole range of practical kitchen utensils that we cannot possibly cover in one blog post. There are a variety of other kitchen tools that make up a well-equipped kitchen. You can probably invest a small fortune in the perfect gear. In the end it's all a question of budget. With every new purchase, we advise you to always buy the best possible quality that you can afford and, with many small investments, to put together kitchen equipment that will keep what it promises for years to come.
